💙 Strength is found in community. Hope is found in each other.

The last weekend of June, women living with recurrent gynecologic cancer and their care partners gathered for the Strength in Survivorship Retreat, made possible through the partnership between Stef Ripple and the Susan L. Burgert, M.D. Gynecologic Oncology Survivorship Program at Johns Hopkins.

Through guided discussions, relaxation, yoga, educational sessions, and shared experiences, the retreat offers a safe space for healing, connection, and hope for both patients and caregivers.

Thank you to the Johns Hopkins team for making this meaningful retreat possible. We are grateful to be part of a program that continues to bring comfort, strength, and hope to so many.

💙 Together, we continue to create ripples of hope.
